Pros: First time using an AMD GPU having used NVIDIA products since a 7600 GT. My previous card was a 2060 6GB. I'm getting double the performance with the RX 7600 for almost a hundred dollars less than what I paid for my 2060 6GB. Runs every game well at 1080p that I have thrown at it.

Cons: New product so only one set of drivers for over a month, but now there have been two driver updates in July. RT performance is okay, but not great, yet to be expected for a budget card.

Overall Review: Overall, this is a great product and highly recommended if you are building a new budget system or upgrading from an older budget mid range card. Especially if you don't want to upgrade other components, like PSU, due to power consumption, or CPU due to possible bottleneck with higher tier cards.

Pros: I bought another 16 gigs to expand to 32 gigs in my system.

Overall Review: I have been using G. Skill RAM in the two builds I have done and haven't had any issues with them. Good Ram for a good price.

Pros: This is really nice in being able to play games that I haven't had the chance to play including Forza Horizon 4, Gears 4, and The Outer Worlds. There are many other games to try and play as well. Ignore any nay sayer also that says this doesn't work when purchasing a Ryzen CPU. Newegg sends out an email with clear instructions as to how to activate the game pass for your 3 months. Last, is that you do get "charged" for it with a purchase of a Ryzen CPU, but the actual CPU gets reduced in price by the 29.99 so everything breaks out even and is still free.

Cons: I'm not a big fan of how MS puts all games/apps into a folder that you can't access on your PC.

Overall Review: Overall I'm happy with this free addition to my purchase in being able to play several quality games that I haven't had the opportunity to play with out buying them.

Pros: I have had this sound card for a day and must say I'm very impressed with the sound quality of the card. My 5.1 speakers haven't sounded as good as they do now. I previously had an Xtreme Music Edition X Fi card in my system, but the Creative Drivers finally drove me away from using the card. (See Other Thoughts). This forced me to use my onboard sound for a bit, but I prefer to have a sound card as I know the clarity from one is much better. The 7.1 Shift feature that comes with the card is great and the ability to shift your speaker positions allows you to truly get the right positioning for your speakers so you have accurate sound in a 5.1 or 7.1 speaker atmosphere. Blu Rays using Power DVD 9 Ultra are nice and sharp with good accurate sound. I tested the sound using the Lobby Shoot out scene from the Matrix Blu Ray and heard every little detail. Bass, High, Mids and Lows all come through very good.

Cons: I dropped this card from a five egg down to four egg for the simple fact that installation was a bit tricky due to the fact that on the back panel of the card at the very top is curved lip. This curvature can cause issues in properly getting the card to line up with a PCI slot due the fact that it bangs up against the slot opening on a case. Software can also be a bit tricky to get used to at first, but its easy to get used to once you fool around with it enough. A The optical in only allows for PCM passthrough, so if you want 5.1 Dolby Digital from a Gaming System or a Cable Box, you will need to then use the Digital out and hook it up to a 5.1 decoder of some kind. I have an HDTV cable box and would love to hook it up digitally for a ture 5.1 sound. Yet, the Virtual Speaker shift does a good job sending proper channels to there rightful place.

Overall Review: I got this card to replace a On board sound after removing my Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music Edition card. I removed said card because of the very poor drivers that Creative continues to come out with. I would have consistent cracking and popping coming from my speakers to the point that I would lose my sound all together and be forced to restart my machine to get sound restored. I wasn't going to wait for Creative to come out with new Drivers, might be waiting for almost a year like I did when I first got my X-Fi card. Its a shame that a company that got started by having one product type and offering the best of this product has now reached the point that they are more interested in providing all these other products, and allow there main product to suffer. Yet, in the end, due to Creative's mistake and allowing themselves to have poor quality in drivers and sound boards, allows other companies to compete and offer better solutions. I will never buy another Creative product
